==== Black Ops (BO) ====

These are the big brothers of the force recon ships but, while they do get bonus to how fast they move while cloaked (which actually means that they'll move faster when cloaked than when not cloaked with the BO skill at a decent level), they can't fit a covert ops cloak and warp while cloaked. They cost about 700m or so before fittings, so it's rarely risking them in combat.

They cost about 700m or so before fittings, so it's rarely worth risking them in combat.

However, they do have a very useful role to play in PvP: the covert jump bridge. Covert cyno fields can now be lit even in cyno jammed 0.0 systems and doesn't appear as a beacon in the entire system like a normal cyno, and a black ops can then lock on to that field and create a bridge to it, which then allows other covert ops ships (any ship that get a bonus to cloaking, including T3 cruisers with the cloaking sub) to jump to the system the bridge was set up to -- making the black ops ship basically a one-way stargate. Only BOs, recons and covops ships can fit and light covert cynos. [[Battleship#Black_Ops|(More Details)]]
